An entertaining action film, starting after the first 30 min. Before that there's not much going on, just some nice island shots and rather uninteresting scenes that are supposed to serve as some sort of introduction for the "heros" later motives, I suppose.

But then the real "story" (very basic) kicks in and along with it the action. Quite a couple of brutal knife killings and shootouts from there.

Some compare it to brilliant The Raid films as I read, but that's nonsense. While the knife action might be similar in brutality, the fight scenes are not not as many and they surely are not as well choreographed, definitely no Iko Uwais skills here. The takeouts are executed quickly and with lots of blood, tho.

Pretty entertaining, if you like a high bodycount.

John Wick, Indonesian style without the budget but same body count. However, this is and will never be as good as The Raid (1 & 2), but it helps passing the time. It's just "clean" fun.

Can't believe it's got a 6 stars rating. It starts off predictably and carries on being so. We've all seen the film's like that. Bourne too. Predictable but I enjoy them. Only this one doesn't have Damon in it so it's better. Hats off to the whole production team. Even better than the Bond franchise. And by that I mean the good ones. Daniel Craig. I do hope there's a follow up.

If you like a Scott adkins style movie and just want a bit of Arnie/Stallone style in Asia.... Just go for it..have some snacks and it'll leave you ready for a nap or your main event...Bigger budgets don't even relay some of the messages in this and I'll definitely watch a worse part 2 if there is one.....main actor needs more roles for sure...

I didn't expect anything special from this movie and definitely liked it. It is a well-done, real old-school action movie with a lone wolf, some emotions and great actions, fights, without any awkward scenes or painfully bad acting that could ruin such films. Just sit back with some nachos and enjoy:)
